Question

Are you able to get a shiny zygarde in Sun and Moon by SR (Soft Reset)?

Comments

i'm sorry, but what is SR

---

It means "soft reset," basically where you keep battling a Legendary or special Pokémon (like Type: Null) until it has what you are looking for, typically Shininess, IVs or Hidden Power types.

Answer 1

Zygarde is shiny locked and there is no legal way to obtain it in its shiny form. Soft resetting will be a waste of time. Sorry!

Hope I helped. :)

Collecting all of the Zygarde cells is the biggest side-quest in Sun and Moon.

Yeah duh of course I knew that Astro

Answer 2

No, the other legendaries, UBs and Tapus are shiny locked. (except for Tapu Koko, as there will be an event in the future)

A full list of shiny-locked Pokémon can be found here.

Note that not all legendary Pokémon can be obtained shiny when Soft Resetting.
